2 THE JOLA OR DECCAN GRASSHOPPER 
Latin descriptions in full, in the Journal of the Bombay 
Natural History Society, Vol. XX, No. 3, p. 879, 1911. 
These are the only scientific communications that 
have, as yet, appeared. In addition to the above, extracts 
from a letter written by me containing some practical 
suggestions with regard to combating this pest, were 
published, by order of the Mysore Government, in the 
Mysore Gazette, Vol. 46, pp. 184 and 185 of 16th February 
1911 and p. 200 of 23rd February 1911. These extracts 
were accompanied by photographs showing damage done 
by the pest as well as the results of combative measures. 
Mention of this pest is also made in the annual reports of 
the Agricultural Departments of Bombay and Madras for 
1910. 
Bolivar’s original descriptions translated into English 
are as follows :— 
Colemania, gen. nov.—Body elongate, subcylindrical, in the male 
strongly fusiform, arched in the middle. Head conical. Fastigium 
elongate with a distinct median furrow above, produced horizontally, 
anteriorly obtusely rounded, longer than the eye. Frons_ strongly 
reclinate, subsinuate in outline. Antenne — -? with cylindrical base. 
Frontal costa sulcate throughout, somewhat compressed at the base, 
slightly depressed but quite distinct, becoming obsolete before the 
epistoma. Lateral carine of the frons sinuate, diverging somewhat 
anteriorly. Cheeks marked by a feeble but distinct granular line. 
Eyes small, little longer than broad, truncate posteriorly ; ocelli not 
prominent, median ocellus between, basal ocelli in front of, the 
eyes. Pronotum conical, especially in males, in females almost 
cylindrical, with obtusely sinuate posterior border; sulci obsolete above; 
posterior transverse sulcus (sulcus typicus) traverses pronotum far 
behind the middle. Lateral lobes of pronotum elongate, margin entire, 
anterior margin oblique, inferior straight, posterior indistinctly sinuate, 
anterior angle obtuse, posterior approximately right. Elytra very 
narrow, linear, elongate, longer than the pronotum. Wings absent. 
Prosternum provided with a very acute aciculate tubercle; meso- 
sternal lobes elongate, truncate posteriorly, approximated in the male, 
in the female with space ampliated anteriorly; posterior angle rounded. 
Metasternal foveol in both male and female close together. Legs 
short, anterior femora in males incrassate, posterior femora slender; 
external median area narrow, with pinnate markings rather indistinct; 
geniculate lobe produced into an angle. Posterior tibize slender, in 
apical third somewhat ampliated and flattened above, armed internally 
with 11, externally with 9 spines. Posterior tarsi slender, first seg- 
ment twice as long as the second. Abdomen cylindrical. Apex not 
at all clavate. Final segment in the male transverse, posteriorly 
trisinuate. Supra-anal lamina elongate, triangular, longer than the 
cerci, sulcate, acute, in female almost equilateral ; cerci short, curved 
with almost subulate tip, in female minute and straight. Subgenital
